An easier life? Maybe?

So, over the past few days, it has come to my attention that video game life is easy. How so you ask? Well... If you get injured, there is generally a health potion within close proximity to you. If you die? Well... Either a friend will have a life potion, or you just have to be patient and wait for the battle to end.

Now, my question is, wouldn't our life be easier if health/life potions existed? Sure, they might taste like Buckley's; but how awesome would they be? No broken bones for weeks on end, no coughing or stuffy noses for days on end, and definitely no waiting around hospitals for hours on end. It seems like a perfect solution to me... Just saying.

So, do you think they should exist on our world today? Or not? All opinions welcome.
